Angry Robot has appointed Little, Brown online marketing manager Darren Turpin to the role of marketing and digital manager.
Turpin will join the company on 7th November and report directly to Marc Gascoigne, publishing director of the science fiction and fantasy imprint. He will work on promoting all Angry Robot titles, as well as developing some new digital initiatives.
Turpin said: "I'm hugely excited by the prospect of working for Angry Robot; they're a cutting-edge independent publisher with a great reputation, an enthusiastic fan-base and a fantastic author roster . . . what's not to love? It will be great to get back to genre publishing as well, it's where my roots lie and where my heart has always been. I can't wait to get started."
Gascoigne said: "Darren's made quite a name for himself in both science fiction bookselling and publishing. It's our tremendous good fortune to find a role for him that truly plays to all of his strengths. Angry Robot is growing in leaps and bounds both in the UK and US, and Darren is just who we need to take our message further than ever before."
Turpin worked at Little, Brown for three and a half years, having originally worked for its sci-fi and fantasy list, Orbit. He was also previously manager of the SF department at Waterstone's Deansgate, Manchester, editor of their in-house SF magazine The Alien Has Landed, and one of the compilers of The Waterstone's Guide to SF & Fantasy.
